until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below the
top surface of the turn base at the point where the front
face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the turn
base.
With the battery cartridge removed, rotate the blade by
hand while holding the handle all the way down to be
sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower
base. Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.
WARNING:
After installing a new blade and with the
•
battery cartridge removed, always be sure that
the blade does not contact any part of the
lower base when the handle is lowered
completely. If a blade makes contact with the
base it may cause kickback and result in serious
personal injury.
Stopper arm
Fig.13
The lower limit position of the blade can be easily
adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the
stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the
figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops
at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.
Sub-fence (for European countries only)
Fig.14
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. Usually position
the sub-fence inside. However, when performing left
bevel cuts, flip it outward.
CAUTION:
When performing left bevel cuts, flip the sub-fence
•
outward. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a
part of the tool, causing possible serious injury to
the operator.
Adjusting the miter angle
Fig.15
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the
turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you
have moved the grip to the position where the pointer
points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely
tighten the grip clockwise.
CAUTION:
After changing the miter angle, always secure the
•
turn base by tightening the grip firmly.
NOTICE:
When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the
•
handle fully.
Adjusting the bevel angle

Fig.17
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of
the tool counterclockwise.
Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the
pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale.
Then tighten the lever clockwise firmly to secure the
arm.
To tilt the blade to the right, push the release button at
the rear of the tool while tilting the blade slightly to the
left after loosening the lever. With the release button
depressed, tilt the saw blade to the right.
CAUTION:
After changing the bevel angle, always secure the
•
arm by tightening the lever clockwise.
NOTICE:
When tilting the saw blade be sure the handle is
•
fully raised.
When changing bevel angles, be sure to position
•
the kerf boards appropriately as explained in the
"Positioning kerf boards" section.
Adjusting the lever position
Fig.18
The lever can be repositioned at every angle 30° when
the lever does not provide full tightening.
Loosen and remove the screw that secures the lever at
the rear of the tool. Remove the lever and install it again
so that it is slightly above the level. Secure the lever with
the screw firmly.
